SpaceX aborts launch of Crew Dragon set to carry team including Russian cosmonaut

The US company SpaceX on Wednesday delayed the launch of a Crew Dragon that was set to carry a team including Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov.

"We'll continue to stand by and wait and see when we might be able to have our next launch opportunity.

There's several opportunities available this week. Again, we had that scrub due to a hydraulic ground issue with the clamp arm on the transporter erector. so the teams will continue to look into that do some more data and analysis, and see if they can figure out exactly what was going on with that issue," a SpaceX commentator said over the broadcast of the aborted launch.

The Crew-10 mission was to have blasted off from the NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In addition to Peskov, it included two NASA astronauts - commander Anne McClain and pilot Nichole Ayers - and a mission specialist from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Takuya Onishi. The team was slated to relieve cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov and astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
